Executive Order 13152: Further Amendment to Executive Order 11478, Equal Employment Opportunity in Federal Government
President: Bill Clinton
Amended federal equal-employment policy to include parental status; later executive changes require separate review.
Status: Revoked. Is Executive Order 13152 still in effect? No. Executive Order 13152 was revoked. See Federal Register record.
What does Executive Order 13152 do?
EO 13152 amended EO 11478 to add parental status to the federal equal-employment policy. It did not itself rewrite federal employment statutes. In January 2025, EO 14173 revoked EO 13672, a later order that had amended EO 11478; EO 14173’s revocation list did not name EO 13152 or EO 11478. That history does not settle the current reach of every provision: later directives, statutes, regulations and court decisions must be considered separately.
Later evidence reviewed October 2, 2026: EO 14173 revoked EO 13672 but did not expressly list EO 13152 or EO 11478. The current effect of the amended policy depends on later authorities.

Legal and source detail
How it works legally
EO 13152 amended an executive policy order and created no private right of action. Later orders and statutes govern current federal employment policy; the 2025 revocation of EO 13672 should not be represented as an express repeal of EO 13152.
